When It Rains, It Pours
"Kyoka, I've found you!"
Ochaco Uraraka formed hand seals, with several abandoned cars floating around her, and watched with a grin as Kyoka Jiro got up from the ground.
"Oh dear, I didn't expect you to find out after all." Kyoka Jiro and laughed. "Bakugo has passed by here several times, and once he even stood on top of a car. I thought he would spot me..."
"I doubt he'd bother looking down to see what's under each car, would he?" Uraraka said with a smile.
Kyoka Jiro was hiding under a row of cars crushed together; Uraraka wouldn't have seen her if she hadn't been so focused that she lay down on the ground to look.
"Hello, everyone, can you hear me? Repeat, can you hear me?" the voice came from the loudspeaker.
"What happened?" Uraraka was still smiling, but when she heard the man behind her talking to Midoriya across the distance, her face turned ashen.
"Midoriya -kun... what on earth happened?!"
According to the person who shouted, he had already captured Kaminari. He was initially skeptical of what the man said, but after hearing Kaminari's screams, there was no need to doubt anymore; what the enemy said was true!
"--Release." Uraraka released her grip, and the car, which had been floating in the sky, lost its traction and plummeted to the ground under the force of gravity. Ignoring the rain of falling debris, she turned anxiously to Kyoka Jiro. "Jiro, your Quirk should be able to Search Midoriya, right? He's in danger! I have to go find him!"
Jiro was also very worried, but she frowned and said, "Uraraka, calm down. It's too noisy here. My Quirk won't be able to pick up Midoriya's voice."
"We heard that broadcast, and others will hear it too. If Midoriya is really in danger, Mr. Aizawa and the others will definitely come to Midoriya rescue!"
"Aaaaaah-- Run! There's danger!"
Just as Jiro finished speaking, they heard a panicked scream coming from afar. The two of them turned around and saw Iida white combat suit speeding towards them like a motorcycle!
The one who made the sound was Minoru Mineta. His feet were floating in the air, his yellow cloak was rustling, and his two hands were tightly gripping the Sticky Grape that were attached to Iida's back, in case he was thrown off if he wasn't careful!
"Jiro, Uraraka, run! There's a monster behind us!!" Seeing that the two of them were still standing there, Iida anxiously sped up again, leaping over the obstacle of the wrecked vehicle as if he were hurdling in a 100-meter race, and tackled them to the ground the instant he reached them!
The next moment, "BOOM--!"
A violent gust of wind swept in instantly, roaring and devouring everything, clearing away all the trash around Iida and the others!
"What exactly happened...?" Uraraka opened her eyes and asked with fear on her face.
The gust of wind had blown away all the debris around them, but no matter what, the weight of several wrecked cars stacked together was still unshakeable. Even though two car doors couldn't hold on and flew off, the remaining cars formed a solid one-meter-high barrier, protecting the group. Despite the strong wind, they were all safe and sound.
Iida released his arms from their bodies, straightened up, and turned to them, saying gravely, "They're remnants of the League of Villains..."
What was once filled with countless discarded items is now completely empty; several layers of the ground have been scraped away, leaving a large crater in its place.
A figure stood there, slowly walking over and stopping in the middle of the crater. He looked around at the people and then fixed his gaze on Iida: "Not bad speed, but still not sharp enough." As he spoke, he adjusted the object in his right hand.
"That's... Todoroki!" Uraraka stared at the scene in disbelief. The usually cold and aloof man was incredibly strong, but now he was like a sling bag, being carried by someone's belt, completely oblivious to everything!
"Todoroki-kun...?" Iida gritted his teeth, looking at the enemy, feeling a pang of regret.
Earlier, while searching for the other people who had hidden with Minoru Mineta, he came to the place they thought was an easy hiding spot. They thought they could find a survivor, but as he was rummaging through drawers and cabinets, a loudspeaker blared out, and a stranger's voice came through.
As they paused to listen, a loud explosion came from another building, and the walls collapsed instantly. They turned around in horror to find unfamiliar enemies emerging from the smoke!
The man didn't cause them any trouble. Instead, he looked up at the sky and sighed softly, "Finally here. I've been waiting for so long..."
Iida made a decision instantly, grabbed Minoru Mineta and ran outside. Fortunately, the enemy was not fast, and was only moving one step at a time.
Just as he was feeling relieved, Minoru Mineta exclaimed, "Iida, that guy seems to be gathering his strength!"
Iida hurriedly glanced back; the man was crouching in a horse stance, his left hand tucked to his waist, seemingly planning a ranged attack.
When he turned around again, he saw Uraraka and Jiro. Without thinking too much, he pulled them to the ground!
Iida's series of actions were all done in a hurry, without paying any attention to whether the enemy had anyone in their hands. Little did he know that Shoto Todoroki had become his hostage.
Although there was only one enemy, it was incredibly powerful. No, if we include the voice from the previous call, there was more than one enemy, and Kaminari- kun had become their hostage!
"Damn it, I don't care who you are, put that guy down!"
Katsuki Bakugo appeared out of nowhere, suddenly appearing above the enemy and swinging his arm toward the enemy's face!
"... Is that all the strength you've got?" The man, though holding Shoto Todoroki in one hand, used his other muscular arm to shield his face, completely blocking Bakugo's attack, and laughed mockingly at Bakugo.
"It's not over yet!" Bakugo roared, his palm exploding instantly and spraying air towards the man's face!
"Ugh! You wretched brat!" Caught off guard, the man's mask was blasted open, but it didn't seem to cause him any harm. He reached out to grab Bakugo, but Bakugo grabbed his outstretched arm instead, retreating and kicking him hard in the stomach, using the recoil to jump to a safe position.
"Hey old man, you're not that strong either!?" Bakugo landed in front of Iida, facing the man directly. After taunting his enemy, he shouted at Iida, "What are you standing there for? I'm enough here. Isn't that guy, Deku, in trouble? You guys go find him!!"
Are you alone? We're here too!
A solid bomb hurtled toward the man in a parabolic arc. He reacted quickly and dodged it. The bomb exploded very close to him. Before he could even feel relieved, a blue beam of light instantly reached his landing spot and struck his foot!
However, at that moment, the man suddenly slipped and twisted his ankle, narrowly avoiding the beam of light.
"That was close, that was close..." The man breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the bomb casing that had just flown by and was now lying on the ground, its surface slick with liquid, soaking the surrounding area. If it weren't for that slippery liquid, he might have been injured...
"Let me guess, who could it be..." The man looked towards the high ground outside the pit.
